12S miles west of Fort Worth; has an elevation of 
1S00 feet. 

Thousands of people have been cured of numer- 
ous ailments by the use of the mineral waters at 
Mineral Wells and Putnam, which are far superior 
to the waters of any other health resort in the 
United States, and are fully equal to the world- 
famous waters of Carlsbad, in Austria. 

For descriptive booklet, or any further infor- 
mation desired, address 

(No trouble to E. P. TURNER, 

answer questions.) Gen. Pass, and Tkt. Agt.

Putnam mineral waters are dame nature's own 
prescription for suffering humanity. For the follow- 
ing ailments they have no equal: 

Rheumatism; Diabetes; Bright's Disease, in early 
stages; Kidney and Bladder Troubles; Stomach and 
Liver Troubles: Malaria: Granulated Sore Eyes; 
Anaemia; Constipation; Catarrh; Eczema and kin- 
dred diseases; Insomnia; Nervous Troubles in Men 
and Women, and the after-effects of LaGrippe. 

All who want pure blood, strong nerves, a clear 
brain, healthy bodies filled with new life, vim and 
vigor, should drink Putnam water. 



Prosperity. 

With the fine season now in the ground, 1910 
will be the most prosperous year Texas has ever 
known.

Texas & Pacific Station at Putnam, Texas. 



Putnam is on the main line of the Texas & 
Pacific Railway. Six passenger trains stop at its 
station every day in the year. You can board a 
Pullman car at Los Angeles, St. Louis or New 
Orleans, and not change until you step off at Put- 
nam, the coming Carlsbad of America. 



Putnam mineral waters are not an experiment, 
but have been known and used for many years with 
most remarkable results; but as the owners lacked 
capital, nothing was done toward development. The 
ownership is now in strong hands, and things are 
moving. 

Why not get aboard the band wagon? 



The Square, 300x300, immediately in front of the 
new hotel, will be turned into a park, and occupied 
by the company's new pavilion building and the two 
wonderful mineral wells. The business houses now 
occupying the south side of this square will be re- 
moved. 



The wise man will buy Putnam property now 
and share in the increase, rather than pay the other 
fellow double or treble a year hence. 



Putnam has an inexhaustible supply of pure 
drinking water.

Mrs. Turner is an Ex-President of the Texas 
Federation of Women's Clubs. 



Mr. H. L. Owens, of No. 409 Summer Street, 
Burlington, Iowa, a well-known climatologist, under 
date of December 13, 1909, speaking of the Putnam 
climate, says: 

"Ycu have one of the best locations in the world 
for a sanitarium. Colorado and the Pacific Coast 
have nothing to compare with it. and ycu are wel- 
come to publish this statement." 



Reduced rate tickets are sold to Putnam every 
day in the year. 



Putnam needs more residences. There is not a 
house for rent. Buy a lot and build a cottage; fur- 
nish it modestiy; rent to transients. It will bring a 
good income. 



Putnam is over 1000 feet higher than Dallas and 
Fcrt Worth; therefor, much ccoler in summer; 
hence, an all-year-round resort. 



Putnam will have 10,000 people in less than five 
years. The wires are charged and will soon be 
humming. 



SUMMER HOMES. 

Many citizens of New Orleans, Houston, Gal- 
veston. San Antonio, Austin, Waco, Dallas and Fort 
Worth, will build summer homes at Putnam, where 
they can go for health, pleasure and recreation. Re- 
member, Putnam has an elevation of 1,800 feet, ant 
is on the main line of a trunk railroad. 



Putnam, unlike some other well-known resorts, 
is not s: hot in summer that people rush away 
the quickest possible moment. On the contrary, her 
visitors are loath to leave. 



Putnam and vicinity offers fine hunting and 
fishing. Quail, Plover and Squirrels are plentiful 
in season. Also fine fishing in the nearby streams. 



Putnam needs medium priced hotels and board- 
ing houses. Buy a lot; build, and double or treble 
yrur merer in a year. 



Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY 



In order lo expedite the growth of Putnam, we 
offer the following property: One solid block of 
12 1ms, two half blocks, three quarter blocks and 
at the uniform price of $200.00 each, re- 
gardless of size and location. 

Terms of payment to be as follows: $10.00 ca sb 
and ^lO.no every 30 days thereafter, until the full 
sum of $200.00 is paid. Xo interest on deferred pay- 
are made. When all 
cash is paid a rebate of 5-/ t will be made. 

The property offered commences at the north 
line of Clay Street, only two blocks north of the new 
Carter-Holland hotel and the business center. 

Full blocks are 300x300; half blocks, 300x140; 
quarter blocks, 150x140; lots, 50x140. 

Lots front on SO-foot streets, with 20-foot alleys 
in the rear. 



PLAN OF SALE. 

Contracts will be sold to subscribers in the form 
of undivided interests in the block, half blocks, 
quarter blocks and lots hereinbefore named. 

When a subscriber has paid in one hundred 
($100.00) dollars, or one-half of the contract price, 
he will receive a Participation Receipt, entitling 
him to participate in the sale or opening, and when 
of the subscribers have received their Partici- 
pation Receipts, notice will be given to all through 
the mail naming the date for the opening at least 30 
days hence, so that all may be present or repre- 
sented. On. the appointed clay the Participation 
Receipt holders present, or their representatives, 
shall select three Trustees, to whom the Company 
will transfer, by Warranty Deed in Trust, the 
property hereinbefore described. The Trustees will 
thereupon proceed with the sale or opening, dis- 
posing of each unit separately, so that every Partici- 
pation Receipt holder will receive a deed for 
block, half block, quarter block or lot, as the case 
i e. 

None but Participation Receipt holders, or their 
representatives, will be allowed to take part : 'i 
the sale or opening. 

The Trustees will make deeds to Participation 
Receipt holders as soon as possible after the opening 
fcr the unit struck off to them. The deeds will be 
placed in escrow with the First National Bank of 
Putnam, Texas, to be delivered as soon as sub- 
scribers have paid the full amount of their contract. 



We make deeds when only half has been paid, 
so that subscribers who desire to build may go 
; with their improvements. 



Permanent residents of health and pleasure 
res u'ts are generally prosperous, and real estate 
••alues are high. 



INSTALLMENTS PAID BANK. 

All installment payments will be made to the 
First National Bank of Putnam, which institution 
will hold the money in trust until deeds have been 
made. 



Texas ranks ninth as a .producer of mineral 
waters, according to the report of the United States 
Geological Survey. In 1S08 she sold one million 
five hundred thousand gallons, an increase of nearly 
half a million gallons over 1907. 



Some Texas and Oklahoma towns have become 
cities over night, as it were, with only agricultural 
developments to depend on. What may we not ex- 
pect of Putnam with her fine farming surroundings 
and her wonderful possibilities as a resort, added? 



Buying a lot on our plan is like paying money 
into a building association, only you are not so long 
paying out, besides your profit will be much greater. 

Putnam will grow, grow and grow. 



Remember we are not offering lots on the bald 

prairie. Putnam is already a thriving town. The 

activities of the Development Company will only 
make it grow the faster. 



"He who spends all and saves nothing, betrays 
himself and those dependent on him from the begin- 
ning. In the end, he will cheat somebody and blame 
everybody." 



Stop-overs will be allowed passengers westbound 
for El Paso, Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona and Cali- 
fornia. Passengers eastbound can also stop over at 
Putnam. 



Lots in Fort Worth and Dallas now selling 
readily at $20,000 and $25,000. went begging at one 
thousand less than a dozen years ago. 



Husband, buy a lot for your wife or daughter, 
or better get one for each. 

Brother, buy a lot for your sister. 



Every man and woman should own real estate. 
Where can you find a better investment for a small 
amount than at Putnam? 



You certainly can spare $10.00 per month or 
33 cents per day toward an investment that may 
make you thousands. 



The Company has reserved land for additional 
schools, hotels and sanitariums.

Much of the property offered by the Putnam 
Land & Development Company will, in five years, 
be as valuable as Mineral Wells realty. Putnam 
having a fine farming country in addition to the re- 
sort feature, will grow much faster than did Mineral 
Wells, which simply "grow'd like Topsy." 



Don't lay this book down and forget. Act now! 
Tomorrow you may be somewhere else. 



France had the only Napoleon. Putnam has tlK 
superlative mineral water. 



Putnam has the climate, as well as the health- 
giving water. 



Putnam has two cotton gins, and in 1908-9 ship- 
ped 5,708 bales of cotton. 



Putnam has voted bonds for another school 
house. 



A hint to the wise. 



Don't lay this down and forget. Act! 



People of today are taking less medicine, substi 
tuting fresh air, exercise and mineral water. 



The Company will install a plant to condense 
the water to save freight on long distance shipments. 



Real estate has been the foundation of many 
>rea1 fortunes. 



Many noted resorts are on branch lines, as for 
instance Saratoga and Richfield Springs in New 
York: Eureka and Hot Springs, Ark.; Buffalo Lithla 
in Virginia, and Mineral Wells, Texas. Putnam is 
on the map. 



THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY AND SUNSHINE. 

The Troy (N. Y. ) Times notes that the rigor- 
ous climate of Canada has checked the flow of immi- 
grants, and that the tendency is now toward the 
Texas part of the United States. The Times adds: 

"There are sections of the United States which 
are open to no such objections. One of them is 
Texas, occupying an enormous area in the Southwest 
and presenting extraordinary attractions- to the 
agriculturalist and others. In fact, the whole South- 
west is sharing in a transformation that promises 
to show some wonderful results in population and 
production. Texas is very nearly as large as New 
England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 
Ohio and Virginia combined, and this statement may 
give an outline idea of the area open for settlement, 
much of it being fertile soil, while large sections 
will be made fruitful through irrigation enterprises 
now under way. The total acreage is 167.887,000, 
and about 25,000,1)00 acres are under partial culti- 
vation. The population is now estimated at about 
4,000,000, which is a gain of nearly 1,000,000 since 
1900, showing how rapid has been the growth. But in 
the same space the States already mentioned have 
28,431,000 inhabitants, and Germany, much smaller, 
has 00,000,000. See what Texas might do if put to 
it. And Texas bids fair to do it. At the present 
rates of accession there will be an increase of popu- 
lation which in ten years will place the State in the 
front rank, while the diversified interests which can 
be maintained there give assurance of unbounded 
prosperity. This is not an advertisement of Texa'=. 
hut it is a setting forth of facts which should be in- 
teresting to every American and which are typical 
of other regions in that general locality. The West 
and Southwest have passed the wilderness era. 
They have reached the point where thev can 
offer inducements in the way of agricultural an. I 
manufacturing industry unsurpassed anywhere, and 
they should be capable of offsetting booms started 
in behalf of Canada, Mexico or any other outside 
country. There are still unsurpassed chances in the 
United States."

PROFITS IN MINERAL WELLS REALTY 



Mineral Wells, Texas, has little good farming

the resort business alone, grown to be a city 

l ;0 or 10,030 pacple. Among other drawback;, 

3 on a blanch railroad and surrounded by hills 

cut off the breeze in summer. 

in Mineral Wells real estate is higher than in 

.own of the same size in Texas, in fact high 

• values apply to all popular resorts. By the 

of showing profitable investments at Mineral 

, we mention the following: A few years ago 

• 'atholics bought a plot of ground for $600.09. 

ting to build when able. In less than five years 

sold this ground for $12,000. 



bout fifteen years ago a man bought 100x125 
liagonally across the street from the Crazy 
i Pavilion for -thirty-five ($35.00) dollars. He 
' on it until 1909, and sold it for $17,000. 



The vacant corner 100x100 next to the Crazy Well 
sold ten years ago for $2,500. In April, 1909, it was 
sold for $23,500, an increase of nearly ten fold on 
a vacant lot. 

On Oak Street from the Standard Pavilion to 
the railroad station, about seven blocks, no vacant 
business lot can be had for less than $3,000. 

Choice residence lots 100x100, say four to five 
blocks in either direction from the business cente.-, 
bring S3, 000 to $8.0.0. 

Residence lots, one-half to three-quarter of a, 
mile north, 100x100, sell for $2,500. 

South side residence lots 50x13-5 sail from $250.00 
to Sr.00.00. 



The foregoing in regard -to Mineral Wells realty 
values was given the writer by one of the leading- 
citizens of that resort, and is absolutely reliable.

Has repeatedly taken first premium at the West

Is on the divide between the Trinity and Colo- 
rado Rivers, and the best watered county in West 
Texas. 

Has produced 90 bales of ccttcn on 100 acres. 
The sandy loam around Putnam is well adapted 
to grape culture. 

Lead an ideal life. Live in Putnam and own a 
farm just outside. 

Callahan County has 

No heavy snow storms. 
No sand storms. 
No mosquitoes. 
No malaria. 
No boll weevils. 
Putnam is surrounded by the richest of farming 
land that produce fine crops of cotton, wheat, oats, 
corn, sorghum, milo maize, kaffir corn, peanuts, 
fruits, vegetables and the finest grapes. 

Think of apples and peaches weighing a pound 
each. 

The soil varies from sandy loam to black waxy. 
Callahan County produces per acre 
25 to 40 bushels of corn. 
15 to 30 bushels of wheat. 
40 to 90 bushels of oats. 
50 to 100 bushels of milo maize. 
■50 to 100 bushels of kaffir corn. 
6 to 8 tons of sorghum. 



Large crops of peanuts and peanut hay. A fine 
cotton crop every year, sometimes three-quarters to 
a bale per acre. Immense crop of pecan nuts. 



"ALL EYES ON TEXAS." 

Under the above head the Nashville Tennessean 
says: 

"In these days of high prices the householder 
must turn to Texas for relief. It is from the Lone 
Star State, according to the New York World, that 
help will come. That enterprising journal has 
figured that under intensive farming Texas alone 
would produce enough food for the entire present 
population of the United States. 

"So there is much good to be expected from 
the trainloads of colonists which are being shipped 
to Texas, and the persons who still have a desire 
for three meals a day and little with which to pur- 
chase them, will hope for the speedy intensification 
of agriculture in Texas. 

"But Texas should not be the only State to grow 
into an immense garden for the support of the mil- 
lions crowded into the great cities. Every one of 
the Southern States should read the signs of the 
times and do everything in its power to encourage 
the careful fanning of small tracts. Texas may be 
better adapted to orange culture than most of its 
neighbors, but it is not so well adapted to the grow- 
ing of many vegetables and grains as some of its 
more Northern sisters. — Austin Statesman.
